Vintage Frenchy Note Cards

After getting my stamping room cleaned up I felt motivated to actually STAMP again (it's been awhile!).  With no real, clear plan I just began gathering materials around me and putting some note cards together.  Here's what I came up with:

  
I took some pages from an old French book and stamped these chandeliers onto the pages, embossing them to give them a nice, glossy, raised feel and look.  Next I machine stitched them onto the cards and then roughly tore the excess off leaving ragged edges.

The cards are blank so they could be used for any occasion.  

I always include coordinating envelopes when making cards -- it adds a nice little surprise when the recipient receives them.  Of course ANY handwritten form of communication received via U.S. Mail these days is a surprise, right?

These are available in my Etsy Store.

So when was the last time YOU received a handwritten note in the mail??

“He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.” -Isaiah 53:3-4
